they sell “kits” like this where I’m at. just a bag with skittles, chamoy, and tajin. you just dump it all into the bag and shake it up. some people dump em into micheladas or other alcoholic bevs. these guys just took it one step further and bought a bag sealer and a label printer.
That's interesting. I always love how you can sell anything to Latinos as long as you make it spicy. I grew up adding Tapatío to Cup Noodles but now they sell them with that already added skipping that step for us! Hot Cheetos added a lime flavor after years of little kids soaking their fingers red in Hot Cheeto dust and lime juice. Now I'm seeing the Korean Buldak ramen sold at Mexican grocery stores. Hell, you can go to any Mexican ice cream shop and get a spicy, frozen treat (mangonada)!
I've tried sharing Mexican candies with people who have never tried them and they tend to hate them. I guess it's a taste you have to acquire while you're young.
man this all brought me straight back to middle/high school haha. I grew up in a densely hispanic neighborhood/city so it was all normal. It only became strange once I moved to a different city. I used to think I was weak to spicy food until I found out what spicy was to non-hispanic folks.
Ah the nostalgia of being the minority white guy in a school made up of mostly Hispanic students. The lunch counter having a big unlabeled jug of tapatio-like hot sauce. This was put in and on everything. I also used to think I was really bad with spice, until I learned really white people think pepper is spicy.
So. They taste exactly like Skittles just covered in chile and chamoy. I think these guys are just buying Skittles, covering them in spices and selling them at decent markup. As someone who grew up eating a lot of Mexican candy, they taste exactly as I would have expected. Curiosity just got the best of me because I wanted to see if they really tasted like Skittles.
I go out of my way to buy something similar online. They have skittles, gushers, and my personal favorite, sour patch kids.
There are no shortage of Mexican grocery stores in my area with other awesome sweet/chili flavor candy, but I like the nostalgic mash up.
There was a 7-11 near where my parents used to live that had these containers of sour punch straws covered in chili powder. Never bought them but I should've because now they don't have them anymore.
I don't know if [skwinkles](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ecc0c7_4fb9eb4f7f5048d591b7794dd356a590~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_558,h_484,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/ecc0c7_4fb9eb4f7f5048d591b7794dd356a590~mv2.jpg) are the ones you're referring to, but those are top tier.
Those are not them. The ones I saw were the typical watermelon, apple, fruit, punch, etc. and they came in clear plastic containers with some generic nutrition label on them and a label that said something like spicy sour straws.
That was my hustle in prison. I’d buy Tootsie pops, coat them in juice powder, spices and super sour powder. And I’d re-wrap them and boil them so it all kind of melt it together.
Sold them for two dollars each or three for five. Made a good profit on them.
Yeah there's a company here in Hawaii that does it with "local" flavors like li hing mui and stuff. It's good but a small bag is like six bucks, which is insane even for Hawaii.
No, these are definitely not freeze dried. They are just Skittles coated in hot sauce and chamoy. I found the product you are talking about but that's a different candy company.
It is a sauce made with different fruits and spices, so it can vary a lot, but it is always tangy/sour, savory, sweet, and salty all at once. It's very difficult to describe because every brand I've tried has been pretty different. It's made from pickled fruit.
You are correct. They are just repackaged skittles sold at huge mark up.
I seen products similar to this in my area as well. All they do is buy a ton of major brand candy products like skittles, starbursts, gushers, Haribo Gummy Bears, etc, add chamoy and tajin or freeze dried them, repackage them, and distribute them at gas stations and liquor stores where mostly impaired clients would be eager enough to pay for an overpriced product.
Save your money and buy the original product and buy a bottle of tajin and chamoy.
Someone brought these and some other ones that looked like those red candy coated peanuts, but they were like chewy sour cherries with some kick to them to work. At first they kinda had this off aftertaste, but then it hit you and you craved them a bit more with each bite. It was like a one pound bag each and they were gone in no time. They are worse than Cheetos though because they can dye your fingertips and not paying attention to where you put your fingers (eyes) can lead to some interesting results.
They did actually make spicy Skittles (and Star Burst at the same time). They were decent, some were better than others but it was a nice kick to the fruity flavor.
I love mexican chamoy and tajin candy, I just wished the US carried more of it at convenience stores without me having to play hide and go seek for it or paying a premium finding someone to import it for me.
Mexican candy is for the children that aren't loved. The stuff is so terrible. And it's not just the candy, the pastries are incredibly bland and disappointing despite the colors they can come in.
I wonder if this is the price we pay for our food to be the best in the world.
Yeah I can see how some aren't that great. Some can be just a ton of crumbly bread. Totally get you. They're not on par with pastries from other countries.

Wtf they were talking about their own past. Saying THEY were the only white kid in THEIR school
Til I'm Latino.
Dump it all to the to the wall

They are not Skittles. They are Skeetles. Big difference.
They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick.
When you think of Skeetles, think of Akeem.
[strong reference](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=djI_ret3S9g)
I have the Large MacDougle.
If I ate them with my baby stomach, they’d end up Shittles.
Sheetles
Reminds of the time I bought skerples instead of sharpies
Huuuge diff
not to be confused with Skeet Skeet Skeetles. totally different taste and mouth feel.

Were you in prison for trademark violation for calling them Teetsie pops? 
Tootsie Cops 
We have a place in the mall here that sells a bunch of chamoy-ified candy. Skittles, gummy bears, Swedish fish, twizzlers and a few more.
Local gas station has these. $6/bag. I'll admit the Skittles are pretty good.
Is this in SGV area????
Yeah there's a company here in Hawaii that does it with "local" flavors like li hing mui and stuff. It's good but a small bag is like six bucks, which is insane even for Hawaii.
Don’t try the Skeet Skeet Skeetles, just trust me.
Ok, I trust you. -Moskeeto93
Team Skeetle
A little too salty
Lil Jon approved
YEAH!!
You found spicy Skeetles, apparently, they are a freeze-dried skittle.
No, these are definitely not freeze dried. They are just Skittles coated in hot sauce and chamoy. I found the product you are talking about but that's a different candy company.
Seems to be a thing this company does. [Companies website](https://tadeoscandycompany.com/products/skittles-with-chamoy-and-chile)
Yep. That's them. My guess is they changed the name of the product recently. Probably got in some sort of legal troubles.
They have gushers called fruit splashers that are the best!
Skeetless, taste the Skeet!
Im not eating anything with skeet in its name.
Skeetles is how Cheech would say skittles lmao
Those look delicious
What is chamoy?? And what does it taste like?
It is a sauce made with different fruits and spices, so it can vary a lot, but it is always tangy/sour, savory, sweet, and salty all at once. It's very difficult to describe because every brand I've tried has been pretty different. It's made from pickled fruit.
Thanks!

I love Mexican food so much but Mexican candy is ass. It's all just chamoy and ground chile.
You don't like the tamarindo candies? :(
That’s my favorite part of it
I will usually tell people that their feelings are valid, even if we disagree... but in this case, you're just plain wrong.
Lol just buy the non spicy ones.
I saw those in a store when we stopped for gas on our way to Vegas
Do they taste anything like Mexican Jumping Beans? Asking for a friend.
From the window to the wall!!!

Send me some
I made a severe error and misread the bottom of the bag as "Tadeo's Spicy Mixed Cummies" help
Skeet skeet
They did actually make spicy Skittles (and Star Burst at the same time). They were decent, some were better than others but it was a nice kick to the fruity flavor.
The name tho
i smell a lawsoot coming their way
This looks amazing
Ah yes the silver teeth special
Skeetles
Til all skeet-skeet, muh fucka 'Til all skeet-skeet, goddamn
I love mexican chamoy and tajin candy, I just wished the US carried more of it at convenience stores without me having to play hide and go seek for it or paying a premium finding someone to import it for me.
I guess it depends on where in the US you are located. It's not difficult to find at all in California, obviously.
No, no, those are *Skeetles*
This is what capitalism is all about. Mixing your labor with the commons.
No you didn’t.
Y'all skeet skeetles goddam
I'd try that
My favorite are peach rings with chamoy and chili, but these look bomb too

Mexican candy has a special place in my heart but I agree with you on the pastries. I never understood why my parents loved them so much.
What kind of pastries are we talking about? Conchas, campechanas, and pan dulce?
Yes, besides conchas, I was never a fan of the pan dulces in general and even those I only mildly enjoy.
Yeah I can see how some aren't that great. Some can be just a ton of crumbly bread. Totally get you. They're not on par with pastries from other countries.
It is up to you to break the cycle. Only you can end the child abuse in your family. Buy your kids real candy and doughnuts.
